[Elecraft] JT65A output power variations.

2009-11-11 Thread hb9ari
Hello, As i use principally JT65A (snice ~ 2years), i've remarked transmit output power variations depending where the audio is located in the waterfall, as i'm not speaking English, it's difficult to explain correctly; if i'm ~ in the middle of the waterfall (~ 1200Hz) i get over 3dB in output

Hi Julian, Thank you for your fast answer! A 1st point, as with the FT857, i'm using USB mode for JT65A. For the filter used, i ordered a 8 poles 2.8k with my K3, but i'm not sure if the 5 poles 2.7k original and always installed as FIL2 is not selected during TX???; next week-end, when active at

Hello Rudolf, I use JT65A all the time with my K3 for 6m EME, and I have always used USB mode for it. I have no trouble with the USB setting...I have never even tried the DATA options. I have the standard 2.7 kHz filter, and set the audio just like I do for USB voice. I make sure to have

Hello Lance, I use the same settings for ALC(also 5 bars in JT65), USB and use the rear LINE IN. As you are using the original 2.7kHz filter this seems not be the problem.; BUT i don't use compression and this can explain that you don't have my output power variation; i can imagine that 20dB

Since you're using USB, you might want to be sure you have the TX EQ flat. Or use DATA A, where the EQ doesn't apply. 73, matt W6NIA On Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:28:36 +0100, you wrote: Hi Julian, Thank you for your fast answer! A 1st point, as with the FT857, i'm using USB mode for JT65A. For the

Hello Matt, Yes, TX EQ is flat. I've tried to compensates with TX EQ, but i've all reseted to flat. Thank you for this indication. 73 QRO de Rudolf HB9ARI Matt Zilmer wrote: Since you're using USB, you might want to be sure you have the TX EQ flat. Or use DATA A, where the EQ doesn't apply.

I don't understand why anyone would use USB mode to operate a sound card data mode, and have all the bother of switching the input between the mic socket and the back panel, when the K3 provides a data mode with EQ flat and compression off specifically for that purpose. Surely using a digimode
